Customizing the Web Console's Look and Feel

It is possible to customize the look and feel of the web administration console.
This web console is served by the DM. Two elements are available:

1. Override the CSS file.
   This CSS style sheet should be generated from our LESS file.

2. Provide a new banner image.

How to set these elements?

One you have these files, copy them under Karaf’s etc directory.
As a reminder, if you installed the DM with our RPM or Debian packages, this directory is located at /etc/roboconf-dm.

Be careful, these files must have a specific name.

• The CSS file must be named roboconf.custom.css.
• The banner image must be named roboconf.custom.jpg.

The banner image should have the same proportions than the default one.

How to use our LESS file?

1. Get our LESS file from the web administration’s Git repository.

2. Update the LESS variables at the beginning of the file.
   Customization is only about colors for the moment.

3. Generate a new CSS file with LESS.

# Install LESS with NPM
sudo npm install -g less

# Generate the CSS file
lessc roboconf.less roboconf.custom.css

You can find other tools and installation modes on LESS’s web site.

Editing other elements of the LESS style sheet is feasible but at your own risks.
